The afternoon before the Lasker bash, Lynda graced a table at Manhattan's scintillating La Caravelle restaurant, while her Secret Service escort went around the corner for a less Lucullan lunch. Their rented Mercury stayed put in a "no parking-tow away" zone. Along came Patrolman Joseph Polly, and by the time Lynda had finished her meal the windshield wiper wore a green $15 parking ticket...
...Angeles heard two dramatically different stories. Mrs. Barbara Deadwyler, seven months pregnant, testified that her husband was hurrying her to the hospital after she began having labor pains, which, it turned out, were false.

A countess offers him a permanent income as an opera escort and house pet. An American girl student offers love and even to take care of his frowsty digs.
